Lord Wan « For collector or fan of FM synthesis »
Published on 12/14/12 at 00:481 rack unit.
Polyphony: 8
Timbral: 8
Rom sounds (presets): 4 banks of 32, ram (patches): 1 bank of 32
Combinations (multitimbral assignments) in rom: 8, ram: 24
Stereo output
Input / output Midi.
Recognition order velocity and aftertouch.
Management sounds Sysex (100% compatible with Dx11 and Dx21 compatible part, 27 and 100).
Note: the processor that handles the midi inputs TX81Z is slow and can easily block the device if it sends continuous series of "control change" or "sysex" from a sequencer or control surface.
There are many publishers but they can not make the FM understandable ... UniSynth all except of course
To note that I assigned it in light of current devices ... but also in relation to its rating.
UTILIZATION
The configuration is done with the navigation keys and a pair of + / - buttons strolling through menus and submenus endless ...
I do not even talk about editing sounds, it is a horror!
I seriously recommend when purchasing, adding a final secondhand netbook with Windows XP and a USB interface 1 midi port to run an editor. Otherwise it is a blow to the disgust FM.
SOUNDS
I will not dwell too much on the issue here because everything is a matter of taste. But it is obvious that not using a FM synth to a "piano" or "violin".
Its fields are percusifs kinds are bells, vibraphone, electric piano and bass "slap".
With effect input gammme permanently for chorus / phaser / reverb (like Midiverb or DSP2024) we can begin to make tablecloths or "string together" interesting. But still very synthetic.
Therefore it can not serve as a main generator set. on the other hand, this type of synthesis mixes well with other keeping her personality in the mix.
One can for example use the generator as "strange percussion" in addition to a boitre ryhtme.
OVERALL OPINION
I use it for a few years. Synths, I've tried dozens and among the fifteen that I keep active, it is still there ...
Its biggest flaw (outside the man / machine interface) is an output level a little "feeble." So it is best to physically closest to the mixer (or with a multi-purpose output TRS) because we will add gain and does not amplify noise in the cables.
In the end, for a ridiculous price and you can add a module a little "exotic" in his set. If you do not want to take the lead must use an editor / Seller external ... see my signature
Note that I am mindful of the attributes using an external editor.
